> Using the Accessible iPod
> By Anna Dresner
> In braille, PortaBook, ASCII text/Word, and DAISY formats, $15
> (Also downloadable in PortaBook, ASCII text/Word, and DAISY formats)
>
> Cute, well-designed, and able to hold hundreds or thousands of songs,
> iPods have taken the  world by storm. And in the past few months, Apple
> has added another feature to their popular  Nano and Shuffle models --
> the ability to speak. Once you take a few simple steps, every  feature
> on the iPod Shuffle and most features on the Nano are completely
> accessible. iTunes  now works better for blind people than ever before,
> especially the iTunes store. If you're  wondering how to take advantage
> of this new accessibility, Using the Accessible iPod can help.  It tells
> you how to do everything you need to get up and running with one of the
> new iPods,  including:
> * Getting started with iTunes
> * Putting the music, playlists, audiobooks and podcasts you want on your
> computer and into  your iPod
> * Getting your iPod to speak
> * Using all accessible features of your iPod
> A troubleshooting section, a list of helpful resources, and information
> on how your iPod  organizes music are also included; see the table of
> contents for more information. Whether  you've never owned an iPod
> before or you'd like to be able to do more with the one you have,  this
> book will help. The included iPods are the fourth generation Nano and
> the second and  third generation Shuffles.
>
> In addition to braille and electronic text, we are proud to offer Using
> The Accessible iPod in  DAISY format, both on CD and for download. (If
> you choose to download the DAISY version, we  recommend that you use a
> broadband connection, as the file is over 60 MB in length.) Put it in
> your Victor Reader Stream or other DAISY player, or if you use JAWS,
> Freedom Scientific has  generously arranged for it to work with the demo
> version of FSReader, so you don't need any  new software to listen on
> your computer or read with a braille display. You can quickly  navigate
> by heading or page to find the section you want. In addition to
> synthesized audio,  the full text is included to make searching or
> moving through URLs quick and easy. So pick up  a copy in your favorite
> format today.
